Feminine clothes that enhance the hourglass are always flattering.Go trim. To accentuate your figure, wear formfitting dresses and skirts that are cut diagonally or on the bias. They should nip in at the waist, hug the hips, and fall loosely over the thighs and calves.Try it tailored. A-line shapes will downplay your lower half. Choose structured pieces with flare that isn't too dramatic; an exaggerated trapeze shape won't do you any favors. Whatever you wear on top, make sure it's slim and cut close to the body to best balance a fuller-cut lower half.

Work the middle. Your waist should always be well defined. A cinched-in middle never fails to flatter; it highlights your womanly figure. Wear a belt or choose pieces with details like beading or ruching at the waist.
